OMG

I GOT INTO THE COLLEGE OF NURSING!

Okay, here is the story of how I found out I was in the CON. It was quite the night!!

First, I was looking at my application online because my friend was worried about hers and how she thought she may have applied wrong. Eventually, I wondered why no one has looked at my application and why it said "documentation needed," so I posted yet ANOTHER message on this little message board that is on my application. I got a reply immediately with this long statement about the qualifications to getting into the program and as it turns out---I APPLIED AS THE WRONG STUDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I applied as a "First time in college student," which has the code BSNFR (something) when I was supposed to be BSNUR--UPPER DIVISION!! OMFG. I was crying. I thought THIS IS IT..I BLEW IT. I was so afraid that if she switched me over it would be too late since the deadline passed!! I was BAWLING!! I e-mailed this woman about 5 times. It went on for like a half hour with me crying and flipping out.THEN, the phone rings."Hi, this is __. Is this Nicole?""YESS, I am sorry, I am freaking out!""Um yes I see that since I have gotten like 5 emails within the past 5 minutes.""I KNOW, I AM SORRY. I am not insane, but I am just really worried...AM I GOING TO BE OKAY? WILL I STILL BE CONSIDERED?!?!? *still crying like a moron*"

"ok, let me see here *typing* I am going to switch you over to Upper division...*typing* oh you already tried...I will delete that one.."

"AM I GOING TO BE OK? WILL IT STILL SAY I APPLIED MAY 12TH?!?! WILL I STILL BE CONSIDERED!?"

"Alright, I just erased the second one and saved the old one which says May 12th and upper division."

"ok, so I am going to be ok? *crying!!*"

Silence.

"Alright, You have been offered a seat into the college of nursing..."

"WHAT? ARE YOU SERIOUS???"

"YES"

"OH MY GOD.......OH MY GOD!"

"ARE YOU INTERESTED?!"

"YES!!!!

"Ok, you will get a letter in the mail in about a week........"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

I went from hysterics over thinking my chances were over to immediate acceptance. When she said, "Are you interested?" I was like OMFG. Seriously, my boyfriend said the expression on my face was priceless.

congradulations!!!!!!... your a nutcase, but i'm glad that you made it, you were very determined. Now celebrate, because when school starts you'll have little time for anything else but studying. I'm sure you'll do fine though. again congradulations.

WOW!! A HUGE congrats to you.This is so ironic....I just got accepted into the nursing program too and I got a call on the 19th!!! of June and was asked if I was interested. My response was much like yours, "Are you kidding"?

I had orientation yesteday, we were fitted for uniforms and signed all of our paperwork for background checks and were given our lab slips for our drug screens. I was there 3 hours and by the time I left I was already registered for classes and have my class schedule.We start on August 24th. When do you start??Dawn

Nursing students must think alike...we have the same template...lol. Congrats on the admission-it was hard work, Im sure. Im starting second semester this fall...Im geeked, Ive been on a nursing school high since the first day of first sem. It was crazy tough, but awesome as heck!
